@crossposter@renatolond Is the problem part of the Aug 16 API deadline given to Apps of a Feather?I've been flabbergasted, though, by the range of problems followers around the world are reporting this week. Across devices, and not account-based.I have a feeling the SS Twitanic has already hit the iceberg and it's slowly sinking.

@OutOnTheMoors I don't think so, I think they have been tightening their bot controls (a lot of bot makers are complaining this last few days) and the @crossposter is being caught by whatever algorithm they set up for that. I still think this is related to the @ issue they complained about the last time, because mastodon links do contain @, so if I were to guess, that's being flagged as a mention. 🙃

@renatolond@crossposterNothing to do with the crossposter, but here's an example of the weirdness. Not the tweet itself, the "null retweeted" - turns out to be a 2.5k US-based account I follow. Size and politics? Nope. After a couple that work perfectly, another "null" - this time an 80k verified follower in Australia.
